When we got our new 5516s and this new "FTD" thing, I was totally clueless. I could configure CLI and ASDM with the best of them, but this was all new to me and there is literally no help out there unless you know somebody that knows somebody.

So glad that I know Jason Flippin and Jeff Busch from the Omaha Cisco office. They helped me get up and running and got me enrolled is this course. Todd has already covered everything that I needed to get the FTD up and working. I wish I could have taken this course months ago.
